False Metallic Wood-boring Beetle

Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
June 16, 2007

Found at a light on the side of a building. Another new family for me.
When flipped over, this little beetle clicked just like an Ela*terid to right itself! Looks like this individual has split eyes, so I'm guessing it's a Trixagus?
